Their subsequent deal with European label Off Yer Rocka kept them active through the 2010s, positioning them as part of the wave of Australian hard rock acts reaffirming the country's long history with the genre.
Bornholm is a Hungarian black/pagan metal band from Szerencs, founded in 2000 and signed to Napalm Records.
